Car insurance rules in Michigan

Michigan requires drivers to carry at least $50,000 of bodily injury liability per person, $100,000 per accident and $10,000 of property damage liability, often written 50/100/10. It also requires personal injury protection and property protection insurance ($1,000,000). Michigan is a no-fault state: your own personal injury protection (PIP) pays your medical bills after a crash, whoever caused it.

These are legal minimums, not a recommendation: a serious crash can cost far more, and anything above your limits is yours to pay.

Do I need flood insurance in Portage?

FEMA's National Risk Index rates inland flooding risk in Kalamazoo County as Relatively Moderate compared with other U.S. counties. Most home and renters policies do not cover flood damage. Flood cover is a separate policy, from the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer, and an NFIP policy usually starts 30 days after you buy it.

Do I need renters insurance in Portage?

30.9% of households in Portage rent, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. A landlord's policy covers the building, not your belongings or your liability; renters insurance covers those.

How do I choose an agency?

Call two or three. Ask which companies they can quote for you, how they handle claims, and who you will deal with after you buy. An independent agency can compare several insurers in one call.
